Many years ago, I worked for Virgin Atlantic airline and was fortunate to be awarded a free fam pass on El Al airlines to Israel.
I ended up trading the ticket away to another employee but I always regretted not taking this opportunity to visit the Holy Land because of my cowardice.
At the time, it seemed like every week there would be a bus blown up or an explosion in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv and I wondered how any one could live in such a turbulent environment. I grew up in a poor tenement in Spanish Harlem,

Here, we are reminded that many, if not most, protesters, are from privileged backgrounds, as they were since the Sixties. Because of the emptiness of their stress-free lives, these children of the liberal bourgeoisie glom on to trendy causes to give meaning to their useless existence.

"Like the United States, Israel does not start wars."
Keep on believing that, Alicia. Our CIA has started more wars than most other countries have and the country in which we meddled usually ended up worse than before. In earlier times, we broke every treaty with the Indians before the ink was dry and massacred entire tribes just to take over their land and resources.

This disappearing of the truth by the media is not unexpected. They have to reset the narrative. Even after the heinous acts that were perpetrated on innocent civilians, the left will come out to white wash the perpetrators. What is shocking is that so many people trying to bury the truth are Jewish. How does that even compute?
Hamas attacked civilians, and families with babies and toddlers. Old people were viciously murdered. Young women were raped so many times their pelvises were broken. That is torture of the worst kind. Babies were killed in front of their parents and parents were killed in front of their children. How can anyone justify such evil? Hamas was not attacking the military they specifically targeted civilians. Only barbarians stoop so low.
Anyone trying to justify this carnage or play it down is just as evil as those who perpetrated this genocide. There is not much difference in those who do these travesties than those who justify their actions. Both are reprehensible human beings unworthy to draw breath. There is no excuse for this carnage. There is no extenuating circumstances that makes it acceptable. These were crimes against humanity and if the world had any courage nations would come together to convene a Nuremberg like court to punish these evil acts and remind the rest of the evil doers that they will be brought to Justice.

The hatred for Jews is nothing more than spiritual warfare.
Hitler and Hamas and rich brats at Columbia are influenced by real demons, who have always hated the Jewish people. They have hated all the men that were chosen by God for a special task, because they followed Him. Noah, Abraham, King David....

To those who believe that the US has started more wars than other nations, while I despise the CIA and the State Dept's lust for meddling into other nations and war, that is demonstrably not true. We are only a couple of hundred years old. Many nations, many long disappeared, have waged wars of conquest, China and Russia being in the top three.
Name one nation that fought a WW and then spent millions of dollars rebuilding their defeated nation into a modern democracy. Hint: USA

There is truth to the point #2 made. To build on it, always remember the family bloodline that benefits handsomely from war and is historically known for financing both sides of war - the House of Rothchild. They financed both sides of both world wars and many others. We are their debt slaves.
But the second part of the quote in #2's comment I believe to be true. Israel remains the last blessed nation on the planet.

Do leftists have no shame? On the one hand they call for outright genocide of Israelis reminiscent of the Third Reich yet, simultaneously denounce Donald Trump as, "Adolph Hitler" and with the "MAGA Republicans" as "Nazis."
Excuse me? The irony, hypocrisy, and illogic of the hard-left intelligentsia is on full display for us here...
Breaking down the postulates of the pencil-necked, pony-tailed, pointy-heads:
1) Donald Trump is "Hitler" (who annihilated 99% the European Continent's Jewish population)
2) MAGA Republicans are "Nazis" (who, through blind loyalty, did the bidding of Party and Fuhrer via anti-Semitic attacks)
3) If the above things are true, then the Intelligentsia would be changing Political Parties and lining up for red MAGA hats.

Sadly, it is my understanding that most Jewish people vote Democrat. I don't get why they would other than maybe they think Hitler was a conservative which he was not. He belonged to the Socialist party. . .

#9-Note. I was just informed on Facebook that a page formally known as Jewish Patriots was now being changed to Jewish GOP. That's a good sign.

#6. You might want to read more, as there is little basis in fact for what you said.
For example, the head of the Rothchilde family fled France, joined the French military in exile, earned the French equivalent of the Medal of Honor in combat, all while his wife was captured and died in a concentration camp and his daughter was a war refugee. It’s a big family with lots of branches, some good, some bad, but hardly the boogeyman people like to claim.

I don’t know if this is actual anti-semitism that’s always been there and now is rearing its ugly head, or just idiocy by liberals, or both. Israel is a peaceful nation that only goes to war whenever her Arab neighbors decide to attack her. The Arabs want to wipe Israel off the earth.
Liberals claim to support women’s rights. What other group of people in the world is even close to being as misogynist as Muslims are? Do any of these people supporting Hamas terrorism even know what it’s like to be a woman in a Muslim country?

For understanding the "boogeyman people" part of the House of Rothschild, here is that side of it -

#14 your link starts off with a claim that the Rothchilds got their peerage unethically and from the Holy Roman Empire. No, the first Baron earned it by service to England and then another earned a second peerage from Austria.
It then just gets silly.
I don’t doubt there are plenty of scum and villains in their family, just like everyone else’s. Plus it’s banking, which is a dirty business generally. Go look at what a scum JP Morgan was. Rotten drunk and Nazi collaborating bank.
But the rest? It’s silliness. Big rich families have big rich scandals. Same as us, just bigger.
